Clara Le ChevallierAssociate

I am an Associate in the Immigration and Global Mobility team and I advise on both UK and global immigration matters.

I joined Lewis Silkin as an Associate in July 2021. 

Before joining Lewis Silkin, I gained 5 years of legal experience from top-tier immigration firms in London.

I hold a Mathematics degree from the University of Exeter and completed the Graduate Diploma in Law and Legal Practice Course at the University of Law. I qualified as a Solicitor in March 2021 and am a member of the Immigration Law Practitioners’ Association (ILPA).

I am fluent in French and English.

I have many years of corporate immigration experience, supporting HR professionals in managing their day-to-day global and UK immigration needs. I also assist private clients with family immigration matters. In particular, my experience includes:

• Coordinating global immigration projects across multiple jurisdictions; 
• Providing post-Brexit immigration advice in relation to UK citizens residing in the EU;
• Assisting companies with sponsor licence applications and advising on compliance issues, including revocations and conducting mock audits;
• Training HR teams on right to work, compliance duties and Brexit implications;
• Managing applications under the Point Based System and the EU Settlement Scheme;
• Advising private clients on settlement; nationality and Appendix FM applications;
• Managing complex French passport applications for dual French/British nationals in the UK.
